Why consider LASIK?

1. Perhaps you have worn glasses since you were a child.
2. Maybe when you awaken, you can’t see the alarm clock without your glasses.
3. Do you absolutely need your glasses or contacts to drive, see a movie, or participate
in sports or theater?

Are you wondering, “Is there a way to improve my vision without having to rely on glasses or contact lenses? YES! LASIK, if you are an eligible candidate, can provide you with a way to live your life with new confidence and enthusiasm; a life that is not dependent on prescription glasses or contact lenses. The best way for you to determine if you are a candidate for LASIK is with a personal, one-on-one consultation with an experienced, licensed TLC doctor.

LASIK can treat people who:

• are at least 18 years old
• are not pregnant or nursing
• are in good general health
• have a stable prescription
• have no eye diseases

LASIK can treat a very broad range of prescriptions:

Myopia (nearsightedness)
A person can see objects near more clearly than distant objects

Hyperopia (farsightedness)
A person typically sees objects far away more clearly that near objects. If you have a high correction, it may also be
hard for you to see distant objects.

Astigmatism
If you have an oval shape to your cornea, which gives you a distortion, or tilting, of images. Astigmatism may blur vision
for both near and distant objects.

Presbyopia
For nearly everyone, beginning in their 40s or 50s, the lens of the eye loses some of its flexibility, making it necessary to
use bifocals or reading glasses. LASIK does not correct presbyopia.
